Re: Makes me long for...
If your 1403 had a carriage control tape (like this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/IBM_1403_carriage_control_tape.agr.jpg/1280px-IBM_1403_carriage_control_tape.agr.jpg), you could adjust it so it wouldn't make proper contact even when there were holes in the tape. As a result, the next form-feed command will empty a box of wide fan-fold paper in a matter of minutes, ejecting it in a dazzling shower of paper powered by the 1403's hydraulics.
